Authentication

Send an API key as a bearer token. This endpoint does not state a specific permission in the specification, so give your key the least it needs and check the response rather than assuming.

Where your organisation id goes

This endpoint takes org_id as a field in the JSON body.

Your organisation id is on the API keys screen in your dashboard, beside the key itself. It is the same id in every call you make.

Try it

Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.

curl -X POST https://api.zinndigital.com/v1/agency/time/schedules \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "trigger": <string<manual, on_log, day_of_month, threshold>> }'

Signed in? The API console in your dashboard fills in your real organisation id and your own key, and runs the request against the live API so you can see the actual response. Open this endpoint in the API console

Details

Idempotent by `(org, client)` — a second POST updates rather than creating a second row, because two schedules for one client is the arrangement that bills them twice. Four triggers: `manual` (on demand only), `on_log` (immediately, as time is logged), `day_of_month`, and `threshold` (when unbilled work reaches an amount). ⛔ `day_of_month` is 1–28, and that is not a limitation of the storage. A schedule set to the 31st would silently skip February, April, June, September and November — seven months a year in which the agency is not paid and nothing is red. "The end of the month" is expressed as 28.

Response

NameTypeRequiredWhat it is
idstringYes
client_idstringNo`null` is the organisation-wide DEFAULT, covering every client without a row of its own. A per-client row replaces it rather than layering on it.
triggerstring<manual, on_log, day_of_month, threshold>Yes
day_of_monthintegerNo⛔ 1–28. The 29th to the 31st do not exist in every month, so a schedule set to the 31st would silently skip five of them a year.
threshold_minorintegerNo
currencystringYes
activebooleanYes
next_run_atstringNo
last_attempted_atstringNoStamped for every schedule the sweep REACHES, before its result is read — so a client whose invoice fails still leaves the front of the queue.
last_succeeded_atstringNoA SECOND column, deliberately: one column cannot serve as both the cursor the sweep advances and the signal a staleness alarm reads.
last_errorstringNo
